National Parks and Wildlife Service

Budget cuts and restructuring that are crippling National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), leaving them without the means required to properly manage our national parks.

At the same time national park visitation rates are soaring. NSW national parks were visited over 50 million times by Australians and international tourists in 2016.

Given their growing popularity and the important role they play in the Australian economy it is difficult to believe that investing in national parks and NPWS isn’t a high priority for the NSW government.

Through our Protect Our Parks campaign NPA will continue to campaign for the restoration of funding levels and expansion of NPSW so that they can keep our national parks well maintained, free of pests and weeds, and havens native wildlife.

Help NPA stand up for nature

Help NPA stand up for nature

Nature needs our help more than ever.The fires of 2019/2020 have left a permanent imprint on many of our natural landscapes and pushed once safe species towards extinction. Against this backdrop, climate change, destructive development, logging and loss of marine conservation are posing increased threats to nature.

Your support will help NPA retain and build the resources we need to face the challenges ahead with hope. And it will enable us to participate in a process that influences crucial policies and decisions that will have a permanent impact on our national parks and natural landscapes.
